Repentance, Ridiculous.

Mr.. o. w. III. Wright, of Hooking
is to be congratulated upon the
compliment paid him by his home
delegation in the convention last
Tuesday. 1t was an endorsement
that was worth as much as the
nomination could have been. Mr..
Wright was defeated, it has been
the fate of. many good men-but
his fight was of such q character
as to raise him in the estimation of
his party at home and abroad. He
is no wornout political hack whose
existence depended upon this nom-
ination. He is in the vigor of his
mental and physical health, with
good law practice and q clear
conscience, and enough sense to
know that one defeat does not ruin
his chances forever, and that in
good time he will receive that re.
ward from his party that his SER
vices deserve.--Athens Journal.
What an awful thing it is that
some men can never see the good
qualities until all opportunity for
anything but wordy slush is past
In this regard the editor of the
Journal, is pre-eminent. Had Bro
Barker discovered the worth of Mr.
Wright, before the date of the Ian.
caster Convention, he might possib-
ly, have been induced to make q
single effort to break away from
the leading strings of his master
and have given Hocking's candid
ate the support to which he is just.
ly entitled.
In the course of half a century
the head of the Journals editor
may be ripened sufficiently to re
tain something more than verbose
hypocrisy.

That Convention.

The Republicans, or part of them
held a Convention on Saturday
last, in which the greatest harmony
with a big HI. prevailed. S. III,
Bright was the chairman and in
his Introductory speech told his
hearers what great and good
thing it was to be Republican,
and how he was burdened down by
the weighty honor of presiding,
He also cast horoscope of the
next Republican President, and
told how smart he would be; that
he would know enough to not give
away the valuable property of the
government known as "Rebel
Flags" and would not have to con-
suit law books to find it out. AT
this out-burst of eloquence the
Convention smiled out loud and
stamped both it's feet, and Samuel
sat down.
Charles Wesley McClintock was
then appointed Secretary for the
reason that he could keep an &C.
count of the proceedings, at the
same time he was preparing his re-
port for the Sentinel. The Chair
then announced that the first bust
ness In order was the appointment
of delegates to the State Conven-
tion, and after consulting some OF
the Democrats present, they de.
termined they were entitled to
three delegates and three altern'
ates, aud committee to select
them was appointed and reported
the names of d. X. Nutter, Ward

Hon. Thomas Z. Powell.

Our nominee for Governor, Thos.
Powell is q gentleman we'll known
to the Democracy of Ohio, and his
character and Democracy are of
the quality that will make him q
tower Of strength in the coming
canvass. He was born in Delaware
o., 43 years ago, and graduated from
the college at that place in 1864 at
the age of 20 years. He served
nine months in the Union Army as
a private, and on his discharge stud
led law. His first active political
work was during the Greedy cam
paign of 1872. He was the nomi-
nee of the Democratic party in
1875 for Attorney General, and a
candidate for Congress in the strong
Republican 9th District in 1882, and
headed the Democratic Electoral
ticket in 1884. He was chairman
of the Democratic State Executive
Committee in 1885, and is lawyer
of ability with large practice.

That was a terrible insult offered
to the Democratic convention at
Lancaster last Friday. Some one
without the fear of never getting a
post-office, brought in o bucket of
ice-water for the members to drink.
Horrible.
The above paragraph appeared
in the ohio Industrial School Jour
nall published and maintained by
the taxpayers of all political par
ties. The name of G. Z. Kaehler
appears as it's editor. Brother
Kaehler is known as an ultra Re-
publican. The writer, no doubt,
considered the squib funny, but the
"terrible insult offered" was moth
ing more nor less than a dirty re-
Election on one of the most respec-
table political gatherings that ever
assembled in Lancaster. Mr.. Kaeh-
Ter is employed and paid by the
State to teach the boys under his
charge good moral lessons, and not
to poison their minds with political
prejudices and fanatical notions.
If this editor will visit Toledo
next week, lay aside his prejudice,
and mix with the leading Republi-
can politicians, the scenes he will
witness may have a tendency to
remove the scales from his eyes,
